Backpack wants to leave you with one final bottom line #fatbearsforever

Thank you to everyone who voted, boosted, quoted, tagged me in bear stories, shared bear memes, and created fun and conversation around fat bears 🫂🐻💜 #fatbears

By only one vote, the 2026 Nostr Lord of Lard is 89 BACKPACK 🍑👑!!! This gentle king has quite the story. He got his nickname by riding on his mom Holly's back when she was swimming (she also won fat bear in 2019, see last pic below 🍑). He badly injured his leg when he was a wee lad, and his excellent mom created the space for him to heal. She slowed down so he could keep up and fished in non-prime spots to keep him safe. Is this what helped him turn into the gentle giant we see today? Backpack is one of the oldest of the contestants, and one of the biggest. Yet instead of picking fights and throwing around his weight, this guy prefers to sit on his favorite rock and dance for his beloved. In an environment that rewards male aggression, he chooses peace. A true king. 👑 #fatbears #fbw #fatbearweek
